I don't know about you, but I use the source code to install -- and it
asks me if I want the new version to replace the old version (if one is
found). I haven't had any issues with this method, and I've done
upgrades probably 10 times this way. YMMV.

collection.c or view_collection.c will contain everything to do with that
view style.

(One set of updates later) It's fixed. Any idea what's up with the

ROX-Filer 1.3.7 is out! Get it here: (source and Linux-x86 binary archives
at present):
http://rox.sf.net/rox_download.php3
The focus this time has been on removing many of the little bugs and
fixing many of the TODO items, in preparation for a stable release. There
are still some (minor) known bugs... check the TODO file.
Please report any bugs not on that list! The filer is more-or-less in
feature-freeze now until 2.0.0.
Changes since 1.3.6:
- When using the Rename and Link boxes, use the appropriate drag cursor
(suggested by Michael Adams).
- Make Size toolbar icon only set the size. Use a second button to set
automatic mode.
- Fixed some spelling errors (Marcelo Ramos).
- Select the current style by default when opening the Set Backdrop box
(reported by Marcelo Ramos).
- Merged Set Run Action, Set Icon and Set Backdrop dropboxes into a single
Ultimate DropBox widget, and made all three interfaces much nicer.
- Dragging to the Home and Up toolbar tools now supports the menu-on-drag
option (reported by Laurent Moussault).
- Remove button style from iconified windows. Use a semi-transparent
border instead. The actual effect is flexible; perhaps someone with
artistic talent can do something better?
- Double-buffer small pinboard updates.
- Allow changing the pinboard style without having to drag the image back
in (requested by Jesse Wagner).
- Option to turn off column headings in List View (Adam Sampson).
- Panel auto-raising also works during drag-and-drop.
- If an error occurs opening a directory then don't report it in an error
box if a drag-and-drop operation is in progress.
- Option to show menu on button-1 drags instead of copying.
- Symlinks to mount points now work slightly better (reported by Daniele
Peri).
- Include textual description of types in various places (Stephen Watson).
- Allow dragging directories to bookmarks edit window or toolbar icon,
with spring loading (suggested by Stephen Watson and George De Bruin).
- Removed confusing Set Icon choice from DnD menu.
- When dragging a pinboard icon over itself, pretend the icon isn't there
to allow fine repositioning.
- When an error prevents scanning a directory, show the error in the
window title bar, and only report it once in an error box.
- Don't create thumbnails of thumbnails by checking if the image is in
~/.thumbnails/normal. Before, the test was the size of the file, not its
location.
- Pinboard image style Scale is now called Stretch; Scale now scales
without changing the aspect ratio.
- Auto-scrolling during drag-and-drop works again, and now in list view too.
- Don't use double-buffering for the pinboard. This might make things
flicker slightly, but it's much faster on some systems.
- Added Bookmarks 'Recently Visited' submenu (Stephen Watson).
- Replaced some of the icons with some GNOME ones (slightly modified in
some cases).
- Slightly adjusted the 'normal' icon height to be the same size as GNOME
to make sharing icons easier.
- Add scrollbars to bookmarks editor window (requested by George De Bruin).
- New option to sort capitalised names first (requested by Paul Etchells
and others).
- Attempt to improve the autosizing by examining the item with the longest
name.
- Don't scale icons up in Huge mode.
- Added dnotify support, so that on Linux the filer now updates
automatically when a directory is changed (requested by Taras and Dave
C).
- Added icon to infobox (Geoff Youngs and Marcin Juszkiewicz).
- Remove -o from --help output (spotted by Karol Krenski).
- Change 'Type' to 'Types' (Vincent Lefevre).
- Add GTK versions used for compiling and running to -v output (suggested
by Vincent Lefere).
- Don't resize when changing the view type if auto-resizing is off (Keith
R. John Warno).
- Aborting an action window tries to kill all child processes, not just
the immediate child, and doesn't close the window until it has actually
stopped.
Bugfixes:
- A double-click which starts on one file and ends on another is now
ignored (reported by Michael Adams).
- Test for valid sort-type in SOAP call was reserved, so you couldn't set
the sort type (reported by Damjan Bole).
- Using a SOAP call to open a non-existant directory made the filer crash.
- Drag-and-drop raising on the panel didn't quite work (Daniele Peri).
- Alpha blended pinboard icons now get clipped correctly.
- Installing to /usr put the MIME files in the wrong place (reported by
Albert Wagner).
- Allow dragging to a selected directory as long as it's not the source of
the drag.
- Keep the title up-to-date for iconified windows.
- If a directory on the panel changed to/from being an application, the
label wasn't hidden / shown.
- Changing the icon for a MIME type updates all filer windows.
- Fixed clipping and wrapping problems with pinboard icon text.
- Symlinking to an application required the symlink, rather than the
target directory, to have the same owner as the AppRun (Keith Warno).
- Hyper and Super modifiers didn't work properly as icon shortcuts.
- Filer would quit if only the Bookmarks editor window was open (reported
by Bernard Jungen).
- Fixed wheel mouse scroll bug in List View (reported by Vincent Lefevre
and others).
- Work around changes in Gtk+-2.2 that stopped the panel from appearing on
all workspaces.
- Drag-and-drop in Icons View didn't work while scrolled (reported by
Brian Langenberger).
- Added missing cast and detect long files on OpenBSD (Damien Couderc).
Translations:
- Updated French manual translation (Arnaud Calvo).
- Updated Russian translation (Alexey Lubimov).
- Updated Spanish translation (Marcelo Ramos).
- Updated Polish translation (Marcin Juszkiewicz).
- In translated <About> sections in AppInfo.xml files, allow a 'label='
attribute to translate the key (requested by Guido Schimmels).

It was the version from the 22nd, which is just before the fix. Not updated
yet.

The type names are different, and there's no fixed rule for doing the
conversion.

It's gone, mainly because it's easier to create an executable in a filer
window and drop onto that. The new DropBox widget in the filer can also be
reused if needed...

Then what would the 'link' cursor be used for?

Double-clicking the background just resizes the window, whereas the 'fit'
button also switches to 'Automatic' icon sizing mode.

Does this still happen? I don't see it here, and it sounds like the
behaviour just *before* the fix...

Ok. I hope to have them ready in a few days, for the new release.

Arnaud, all my mails to you bounce back with the mention "spam
blocked"! :(
So I answer to your private mail on the list instead. (sorry for that)
To make it short, it's ok to put my e-mail address if you want. And if
you need the translation of other technical terms, don't hesitate to
ask me.
regards,
